A spcccii which excited general atten tion was that in which Senator Van Wyek exposed the conduct , by Attorney ( icncral lire water , of Iho starroiito cases. Mr. Van \Vyck took tlio lloor lurcli 2 , the senate having under consideration tlio bill with reference to Alabania inln- oral lands. Ho said that the 'senator from Alabama ( Mr. Morgan ) , was sug gesting that thcro wore certain frauds connected with the administration , cither of tlio public surveys or the location of the public lands. Ho would suggest that there wore other matters that are subject to the same criticism .From reports already printed it appears that , whllo $ ! )3.000 ) was paid for regular assistants , over $100,000 was paid for special attorneys , and of this sf8"i,000 wore paid in the District of Columbia , In view of what the news papers had alleged , it had seemed to him necessary to apply by resolution to the secretary of the treasury , and yesterday tlio information was furnished. Tlio vouchers to which I shall refer are sam ples of the large number on file. I find that attorneys were each receiving oven more than $100 per day , nnd that the at torney-general approved thorn. Here is a bill by Mr. Ulise for 108 days , including Sundays , for which ho gets $150 a day , with expenses from Now York and back. This would amount to moro than $51,000 per annum. Mr. Morrick , whose time is about 100 days , makes a charge of ! ? 15- 000. It is perfectly plain now why the suits continue1 as they do. It is an out rage that ought not to be tolerated in any country. Such charges are equally as infamous , and will be so considered by the American people , as the star-route methods themselves. In the ono case the plunder is by expediting ; in the other it is by delay. The btar-routo frauds wore exposed by the energy of a former post master-general , and not by the money taken by these fees of lawyers , at $150 a day. When the attorney-general is will ing to have paid , from money drawn from the pockets ot the people , as much for ono year's service as he receives for iiis entire four year's service , docs that not affect disastrously the administration of justice ? " Several interesting collo'iuios occurred while Mr. Van Wyck had the lloor , among which were those with Mr. Logan and Mr. Cameron , of Pennsylvania. Mr. Van Wyck , after making the statement referred to above , asked where i.s the pro tection of tlio treasury , and of thu people of tin * country , when the head of the de partment of justice not only tolerates but inaugurates this outrage upon the Mr. Cameron , of Pennsylvania , Do you mean to say that lie over got a dollar lar ? Mr. Van Wyck Oh , no. Mr. Cameron Then be careful how you talk ! The Presiding OHicnr Ioi > s the senator from Nebraska yield to the senator from Pennsylvania ? Mr. Van Wyck Certainly I am glad the senator comes to the defense of Iiis friend. M r. Cameron I do not come to any body's defense ; to accuse him as you are doing is not proper. Mr. Van Wyek I accuse no one ; the facts accuse linn. Mr. Cameron Now , stop hero ! The Presiding Ollienr Deus the senator from Nebraska yield ? Mr. Van Wyck Certainly ; 1 like to hear the senator. Mr. Cameron Then stop ! Mr. Van Wyck 1 nn glad that my friend from Pennsylvania comes to the rescue , 1 tried to do it but tlio facts cer tified to by himself are against the at torney-general. Mr. Cameron Oh ! you are a I will not say it. Mr. Van Wyck I have not said that the attorney-general took this money. Mr. Canuu-on You luivo talked too much ; do not talk any more. Mr. Van Wyuk U'lien lie made a con tract to pay $15,000 for ono hundred day's work , including Sunday , ho did what ho must know to be wrong. Mr. Cameron Ho never did a tiling in Iiis life that lie Know to be wrong. The Presiding Ollicor The senator from Pennsylvania will not interrupt the senator Irom Nebraska without address ing the chair. Mr. Van Wyck I most cordially yield ; I do not ak that tlio senator from Penn sylvania shall go thorough the courtesy of lirst addressing tlio chair , Tlio Presiding Olllcor The chair sees proper to preserve the rule of the senate. Mr. Cameron The senator from Penn sylvania means to make no harranguu. lie dons not talk The Presiding Olllcor The senator from Pennsylvania will address tlio chair , and let the chair ask whether the senator from Nebraska will consent to bo inter rupted. Mr. Van Wyok I desire to bo Inter rupted. for it is information I am seeking. Mr. Cameron I am afraid that you know more about it than others. Mr. Van Wyck No , sir ; only to com- municnto to the country the facts in this matter.approvod by "Urow&tor , Attorney- General. " Jn the course of his reply to Senator Logan's question , Senator Van Wyck said : " 1 said that the payment of such u per diem was u temptation , an in ducement to protract the trial of a case. 1 snid further , that in any country where justice wns decently administered it could not possibly be that an ordinary criminal prosecution could protract itself so long as this one lias done. I doairo this matter of taking those extravagant fees from the treasury to stop. Uo you suppose thu attornoy-genoral. in his own private business would employ an at torney at $ lf > ( ) per day and then pay all Iiis expenses ? 1 say that any public of- licor who w.ll not adminiitur liU trust with the sainu fidelity , with the same hon esty and the same diligence that ho woul'l his own private matters , 5c subject to the charges that7 ! follow from pursuing ! ; a coureo. Sutler this to go on , how will it effect the t.d ninistration of justice in this city. 1 ask that these tilings shall stop ! " rOI.ITICAI , ASSKSSMKNTS. A resolution by Senator Pendlcton in regard to the collection of assessments for political purposes from government employes being under consideration , Sonqtor Van Wyck called up a resolution offered by him tfuno Ctli , that VviiKKBAS , Printed circulars are belngsent to olllcers , clerks and employe * In the United State's toivlcu askinc lor contribu tions ; and Cougrejs cnactQd In 1870 that no such contribution should bo re ceived or collected by ono ofllccr from nn- Hc.i'oh'cd , That the committee on civil ser vice report whether such notices nro iccclyod in the naval and military service ; whnl amount would bo realized by Iho assessment of ten per cent on , annual salary ; whether payment will not be n violation of the stat utes , anil by wlmt authority It Is allcceil that such n cssmonts will not bo objected to In any olncinl quarter. , , The semite , having resumed the sub ject Juno 20 , Senator Van Wyck said ; 'Senator ' Halo has alluded to tlio fact that the system of political assessments was excicised to n greater extent in tlio days of tlio democracy than now. But that is no justification'ibr a weaker oxer- else of the power. When n circular is sent to private citiznns no amount to des ignated , but when sent lo a government employe the hope is expressed that not less than a certain sum bo sent. I think 1 have n right ti suy thatitisnot prudent for the republican narty to act upon n policy which largely contributed to the destruction of the democracy. I choose as n republican , differing with all my as sociates to takcwnriiing from tlio past. I do not like the mocftory of telling a man whotfo salary would not give bread to his wife and shoes to his children , that it should bo a pleasure and a privilege to him to do this thing. . 1 do not suppose I nm bo be arraigned hero or anywhere because I nm n republican , nnd 1 protest against such injustice. Your circular does not pretend to bo voluntary , but it is a demand from the administration which requires their allegiance and their dollars lars , nnd nothing else. 1 say to my friend from Maine that tlio republican party is not imperiled so much as to rundor it necessary to extort a few dollars from the hard earnings of these men Mr. Allison 1 ngroo with you thor oughly , Mr. Van Wyck It is n sort of high tariff all the "way through. In further reply to Mr Hale ho said that the demo cratic party was bolder than we are. I beg to bo excused from following demo cratic methods. It was a thorny road for them , and I propose not to wear that kind of stones in shoes. 1 think we can do more in twenty-four hours for the re publican party than by such a system , oven if the ollice-holders should respond. If we would take a little of the burden off the people of tiii.s nation it would hell ) us far more ; if we could reduce our tariff it would aid us more than to raise a few dollars from thu employes of the govern ment. At the beginning of the session wn had thousands upon thousands of petitions praying us to regulate inter-state commerce. Just a little healthy legisla tion in that direction would have helped the republican party moro than the few thousand dollars which we collect in that way. " In answer to a question , Senator Van 'Wyck said he wanted to keep the repub lican parly a little belter than the demo cratic party was kept. I should like a civil service that would preserve tlio purity of the ballot-box and tlio freedom of every man who is in the employ of the government. Fostmustcr-Ueiieral Howe said , in arranging Hayes'administration , that they were inquisitors , : yet when theses same men became the administra tion they suddenly take the same views of all administrations. I am witli the ad ministration ; I am with the republican party necessarily. 1 cannot go anywhere olse. The terrible record produced by my friend from Maine , of demoeratio corruption , precludes any alliance tht-.ro. I am in the republican party , claiming the same privileges I have always en joyed in that organization. Miatako is made when men think the administra tion is greater , higher , and beyond the party. As a firm friend and supporter of the administration , 1 am not hero to at tack it. I only wish to show tlio em ployes of the government that these who can and those who cannot pay the as sessment will have perfect freedom in the exercise ot their discretion. iir.rosirs-poit LAND bt'uvnvs. Jan. 20 , 1833,1 isolator Van Wyck sub mitted a re.-olition ( that on account of abuses and frauds in Jand surveys allowed by deposits , tholscccolary of the interior be directed to instruct surveyor-generals "to approve nd more applications tor surveys under the deposit saystem , " and direofing the cpmnUjtUie on public lands to inquire into a'li'gml abuses and frauds , and find what r < jdre H may be had for any loss .sustained by the government , anil what legislation necessary to in-even t a recurrence. Feb. 3Hh he called up this resolution , ninety a lyiolion to refer it , and spoke at some jongtli upon it. lie said that "the act of 1871 , allowing settlers to have township- , surveyed in which they lived , on depositing ifliOl ) and receiving certificates which could i > o ti'.cd to pay for lands pre-empted in tlio township , was intended as a benilicont measure , but it grow into great abu.-u and greater frauds , until in 18711 , the law was amend ed so that the certificate could be assign ed and used in payment for pre-emptions and homesteads of any government lands. Under the guise of regard for .settlors , they appeared in congress , and the bill was scarcely challenged. This passed tlio senate , and was sent to thu housethu public land committee of which struck out all after tiie I'liac-ting clause and inserted the timber-culture billwhich was t linn reported and passed , but was not sent to the somite. Near the close of the third session tlio schemers reappeared in the house : tlio speaker announced that the bill had been lost , and it was ordered that a copy of tlio senate bill bo requested. It was obtained nnd promptly passedand the plotters at once extended their plans with dummies and straw men and bv collusion with some surveyors general. Tin-so ardent friends of Iho .vettlets in creased the depots ; sold the cc-rlilicatc.s at ninety and ninety-five cents ; Iniil sur veying contracts made to themselves erin in their interest and got the work done at forty or fifty per cent of contract price. Those deposits swelled from a small amount during the last year lo two mil lions of dollars , The present commission- or.Judge MeFnrlnnd , soon began lo have glimpses of the fraudsaiidon , .Sept , 5,18S1 , issued to purveyor-generals a circular warning them of thu great frauds , and directing thu manner of detecting so as to annul fraudulent contracts. Operations had been carried on when townships of good land could bo surveyed , but the great oWcct had been to .survey worthless land ami use the certificates where lands are good. Notwithstanding the circular surveyor-generals continued mak ing contracts. In Colorado about $000,000 , worth has been surveyed in eighteen months ; and later thuy invaded Nebraska from thu west , knowing that scorcsy was important to prevent sus picion. There is a depository at Omaha , but they made all deposits at Chicago , The amount of deposit for surveys in eight states and territories for eighteen months down to 183 ? is § 1,103,030. Will congress sanction tlio delegation of its power to an irrosponsibhi syndicate for the expenditure ot millions ? Often the surveys are farmed out by the surveyor- generals , with no idea of their modi ) or corrc-i-tness , to a few favorilies who ox- pcct to retain one-half of the appropria tion as profits , mnkln < : ti . wnolo sys tem n sort of political hospital with no regard to ellloiunt and economical ex penditures. Ono.object pf the resolution I have offered is to effect a remodeling of the entire plan , and to have annulled con tracts that may bo illegal. " The subject again came up Aug. 1st in the shape of amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill , which provided that no certificates shall bo received in payment for land 'jxcopt at tlio land ollico iu which the lands surveyed are subject to entry , Senator Van Wyck again addressed yio senate in answer to the request of several senators. Mr. Cockorull inquired \yjmt hail become of Senator Van Wyok's resolution , and Mr. Itt'ck Hitid that the senator .from Nebraska can throw a good deal of light ou the question , and called his attention to "Iho tables which ho hnd exhibited , nnd the reason ho gave why we should ngrco with the house provision. " In an swer to these sugsrestlons , which were seconded by Mr. Windom , Senator Van Wyck said that the facts stated wore so established that the committees of both branches have como to the same eon- elusion. The committee of the house ngrocd on tlif proviso of llio bill , stud it has been thoroughly examined by the committee and by some members of this body. Tlio law 'before 1871) ) , which ex tended the benefits of this system to the settlers on thu public domain , was in tended to roach the actual settlers. It applied only to the agricultural interest , to the settlers on the public domain , It provided that the certificates might bo used by pro-omptors within the township surveyed. Then came the legislation referred to ; nnd it wns developed that these certificates were on land to ho lo cated , until In n little over ono year $3- 000,000veio abstracted from the public domain. In Now Mexico 100,000 acres were surveyed , on which there was not a single ranch or corral , no improvements , no settlement showing this to lie an ab solute fraud on the government. This system has been n sort of political hos pital out upon the prairies and in the moiinlaiiii. ! If the land is to be preserved to the settler , is lie not protected by al lowing I ho certificate of deposit to be used within the land district ? They nro by the bill allowed to bo assignable , and to bo used anvwherc within thu land district. New Mexico is a land district ; thuy get tlio bone- tits of them. Nebraska is n land dis- ttlct , and they are to bo placed anywhere in Nebraska. What more should be asked ? The honest settler will bu protected by allowing the certificate to bo used within tlio land district whuro tlio survey is made. This provision protects thu settler and it protects the public domain. Thu amendment to strike out tlio proviso vise embodying Senator Van Wyck's resolution elution was rejected , after a speech by Mr. Plumb in its favor , to which Senator Van Wyck replied. It is within bounds to say tnat this measure has cut d"wn thu cost of surveys fully one-third , by cutting oil'ulI unnecessary surveys. ST. JOSIH'H AND UKNVKUIIAII.UOAI ) LANDS. Senator Van Wyck introduced a bill for the relief of settlers and purchasers of lands in Nebraska which was referred to the committee on public lands. He reported it from that committee with an amendment , and on May I ) , 1882 , submit ted a report from the committee. The bill provided for reimbursing those who under the homestead , pre-emption or other laws had settled on lands within thu grant of thu Northern Kansas rail road , but against whom decrees have been or may bu entered on account of the priority of thu grant , and appropria ted sJloO.UOO , the amount duo bemur ad justed at $2.50 per acre. Mr. Van Wyck submitted a lull report. The lands , until withdrawal were subject to entry. Settle ment was not to be discouraged by any sudden and arbitrary withdrawal with out due notice to the public. The rail road company from 18iO ( to 1870 slept upon its rights ; and not till pioneers had so peopled the country that the railroad would bo a succo.ss did they move in its location. On March 28 , 1870 , they filed thuir map of road , and on April loth thu secretary ordered the land withdrawn. Patents had issued ; the hind had been sold and resold ; pre-emption owners had improved the same in many case.- , with valuable buildings , fences and orchards , and paying taxes thereon , incieasing thu value in some cases to SW an acre. The railroad company acquiesced bv taking indemnity lands Irom March" , 1873 , to December , 1831. The rail road passed to another organisation , and the lands in controversy were con- veyed.to Knenvnlls , Mitchell' and Parker. Nearly ten years passed with no intima tion of ndverseeiaim. _ Then suits began against all having title-patents. If thu government has given deeds to different parlies to thu amu land it must be re sponsible. Mr. McMillan desired some further ex planation of thu bill from Senator Van Wyck. In reply Senator Van Wyck said that under the act of 180i ( the railroad on March 28 , 1870 , filed a map , and the sec retary of the interior at once withdiew nil the lands from market by April 15 , 1870 , the land olliees , however , being Kept open and certificates issuing until that day. The railroad then claimed that entries between those dalus should bu withdrawn , anil the commissioner deci ded with thu railroad company. luc $ the secretary of the interior reversed that de cision , and patents were issued giving persons titles to the hinds they had en tered. They remained in peaceful pos session for a number of years , building houses , barns and fences and planting orchards. The railroad company acqui esced in the decision , and beiraii taking indemnity lands ; they did not advertise these lands nor pay taxe.s on them ; thuy know that the ownur.s were paying rlixos and occupying and possessing them. The company passed into the hands ot another organixation ; its hind grant passed into thu hands of trustees who bu- in bonds of llio roml , mid in script or stock. 'J'ho lioldcr.t of these papers came to Iho land with claims to titlu lo the lands entered between March 28. and April IB , 1870. Ju the suit against llydo , Knoavalls did not proceed against this men who held the land not against the homesteaders who were occupying nnd Homo of whom hnd patents , Just bctoro the statutory limitation for real estate in Nebraska would expire , the lirst intima tion eame to the.su men who had been paying taxes for ten years-a demand for thu land , and service of notice of the judgment against Hyde. What would the government do ? Jt had given to ll'o ' farmers title to their their lands , they had entered upon them in good faith , the secret ar.y ol Iho interior had decided that their title was good , and thai the claim of the railroad was not valid. 'J'ho government is in a position lo respond in Komo way to protect the titles which it gave in good faith , and which thosettlor.s had accepted in good faith. Alter the bill bringing the niatter before the supreme premo court was introduced , it was Mat ed that the person claiming title was willing to accept a basis of settlement ; that the government pay the minimum price for its own lands within railroad liinitn ; by doing which , and paying lo tlio Bottlers ! Jii2,50 pur acre , they would cfl'ect a compromise with Iho persons holding the titles sanctioned by the decision of the ( JiMricI courts. The senate , Juno ! it ! , 188'i , agreed to the bill , which was passed , but it did not puss the house. In the Forty- oightli congress , Mr. Van Wyck intro duced thu same bill , except that the price per acre was made $ ! ) .r > 0 , in consequence of a settlement made between Kneavnls and the settlers , and the appropriation was increased to Si.W.OOO It nasscd the senate , but again failed in the house , Kurl.v in the | irosnnt < osslon of the Forty- ninth congress , Senator Van Wyck intro duced the same bill , which. > ono : weeks ago , passed the 0 to unanimously , and is now in the house for action. HOIIHO Olcniiiii. ; ; In tlio Wild West , Chicago IIoniM : "Talking about cyclones , " said a passenger from Kansas , you folks ought to go out there and sue olio , I won't tell you any cyulono stories , because you wouldn't believe one if 1 did , and 1 hate to be thought a liar by men who doesn't tell me what I hey think. I'll just tell you something about our com mon overy-day wind * out thoro. When I first went west I stopped in St Joseph , Mo. , and of all thu places for dust I ever saw that was tlio woivt. Helow the town was a stretch of the Missouri river bottom tom , and at low-water it was a big sand bar. Over that saud-bac llu > south western winds camo'andf toll you tlio honest truth when I wiy I've seen dust Hymn so thick iu the streets of St. Joseph that business wai suspended , the front doors locked and the street lamps lit. Whenever ono of those sou'westors cnmo along the St. Joseph folks used to shut their houses ns tight ns they could get 'cm nnd live in the collars. I told my friend Hint I didn't wnnt to go nuj * fur ther west than this , but ho urged mo to go out on the Kansns prnirio , and said it was nice nnd nlenn and quiet there , "Well , I wont , took n homestead nnd put me up n little house. Had it nearly nnislicd , nil but the elapbaarding on the north and cnst sides , when onn ot those sou'wcslorn , howlers como along. It wasn't n cyclone just a good , still' , com mon wind but when I went out to that house next morning what d'ye s'noso I found ? She was packed full of sand from cellar to garret. I couldn't got Inside , and couldn't see thu ceiling through the winders it was sand all the way up. Thu wind WHS nil calm then , and I got a shovel and started digging the dirt out of my house when n neighbor came along and saw what I was nt. "That ain't the way to do it , you darned fool , " he said ; "rip off the clap boards on the norlh.aiijl iinst sides and wait for another tircuzo. It'll clean your house out as slick as n whistle in lift eon minutes Nobody but a tenderfoot wouldn't go and clapboard the north nnd east sides of his house lirst , anyhow , " ho growled as his moved oft" . " 1 followed his advice , -wailcd twenty- four hours for a wind , nnd in half nn hour found the house all clean. That ain't all. either.
